Abstract
The dynamics of a three-phase gas–liquid–liquid multiphase system is examined by direct numerical simulations. The system consists of a continuous liquid phase, buoyant gas bubbles, and smaller heavy drops that fall relative to the continuous liquid. The computational domain is fully periodic, and a force equal to the weight of the mixture is added to keep it in place. The governing parameters are selected so that the terminal Reynolds numbers of the bubbles and the drops are moderate; while the effect of bubble deformability is examined by changing its surface tension, the surface tension for the drops is sufficiently high so they do not deform. One bubble in a “unit cell” and eight freely interacting bubbles are examined. The dependency of the slip velocities, the velocity fluctuations, and the distribution of the dispersed phases on the volume fraction of each phase are examined. It is found that while the distribution of drops around a single bubble in a “unit cell” is uneven and depends on its deformability, the distribution of drops around freely interacting bubbles is relatively uniform for the parameters examined in this study.

Abstract
To explore the reason for the bubble sweep-down phenomenon of research vessels and its effect on the position of the stern sonar of a research vessel, the use of a fairing was investigated as a defoaming appendage. The separation vortex turbulence model was selected for simulation, and the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method was adopted to study the characteristics of the bubble sweep-down motion, captured using a discrete element model. The interaction between the bubbles, water, air, and hull was defined via a multiphase interaction method. The bubble point position and bubble layer were calculated separately. The spatial movement characteristics of the bubbles were extracted from bubble trajectories. It was demonstrated that the bubble sweep-down phenomenon is closely related to the distribution of the bow pressure field and that the bubble motion characteristics is related to the speed and initial bubble position. When the initial bubble position is between the water surface and the ship bottom, the impact on the middle of the ship bottom is greater and increases further with increasing speed. A deflector forces the bubbles to both sides through physical shielding, strengthening the local vortex structure and keeping bubbles away from the middle of the ship bottom.
